Charles and Camilla’s residence has a fascinating past, as it was the birthplace of Princess Anne, the one-time headquarters of the Red Cross and was once dubbed a “glorious gin palace” back when the Queen Mother hosted bustling cocktail parties there.
Seventy-four years later, he is now King Charles III and has returned to his roots by choosing to live in the five-bedroom Clarence House, although his official residence in London is the massive Buckingham Palace—just a half-mile down the mall. For Charles, it seems Clarence House is a true home filled with happy memories, particularly of his beloved grandmother Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.
His 25-year-old daughter was now Queen Elizabeth II. According to the writer Hugo Vickers, the new queen did not want to leave her London home, but Prime Minister Winston Churchill convinced her to move to Buckingham Palace. This meant that her mother, Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, needed to move out of Buckingham Palace. But if her daughter had been loath to leave Clarence House, the Queen Mother was loath to move in.
